Normally I really enjoy going to the cactus club. But this time I was disappointed by the service and quality of food.
We are visiting Calgary yesterday and decided to go there last night.
We ordered the beef carpaccio to start, JD ribs, and chocolate lava cake.
Don't get me wrong our waitress was very nice (her name was Nicola) But when our food came, she brought the appetizer and main at the same time. To start the ribs were not too warm as is so by the time we finished our appie and got to the main it was already very cold, the sauce a little bitter as well. Maybe too much JD?? I don't know.
Also the crostini was a little burnt so it had a burnt/bitter taste to it.
I told the waitress about it but she didn't seem to care too much.
Then we had the lava cake for dessert, (I wanted my usual which was the apple galette which they took off the menu. . ) Now wouldn't call It lava cake because it did not even flow out when we cut the cake. It had a pudding consistency to it. It was at least warm but still disappointing. Joeys lava cake still hands down the best! I guess I was comparing it to that standard.
